Leaving Japan

We finally received our orders, May 12th, with the help of Congressman Schock's office to get things expedited. The following day we went to the out processing place on base to set up our household goods move and express shipment. They needed 10 business days from the time we filled out the paper work so we counted 10 business days and we were in business. The time it took for us to receive our orders and to actually leave the country was almost exactly one month. We arrived home to the Short's house after 24 hours of travel. The final jet lag we would experience was difficult but we made it through with lots of dvd's at 2am and lots of naps. Harry joined us the following Friday and it was nice to have the family back together. We started looking for houses that weekend and had good babysitters to help us out. Kelsey McCarthy was home from college so she was so helpful in those months to watch the girls.
